THE ALL-NEW ATOM #18
Things go from bad to worse as the Department of Metahuman Affairs, led by field agent Diana Prince, declares Ivy Town under Martial Law! Even worse, the mind-altering new villain, the Ruffian, wants both the Atom and Wonder Woman dead! Can the combined power of the Tiny Titan and the Amazing Amazon stop this crisis?
Well, I get this title so will probably get this issue, but Wonder Woman isn't really a selling point for me here (I think Ryan's enough of a draw on his own). However, it may be that she is for enough other folks to give this book a boost in sales, and that can't be bad.
BIRDS OF PREY #113
New series writer Sean McKeever (TEEN TITANS) debuts with an issue guest-starring Superman! A high-tech hazard threatens the streets of Metropolis, and a mob boss recently “promoted” is to blame. As the Birds lose control of the situation, Metropolis’s other hero warns Oracle about her future in the City of Tomorrow.
Nothing here to make me stop getting this, although there'd be nothing to bring me to it if I didn't already get it. However, BoP is one of those books I follow for the stories more than the characters, which makes it less safe than some.
GREEN LANTERN #26
In the aftermath of the Sinestro Corps War, the Green Lanterns are undergoing an unprecedented reconstruction and reinvention, and the controversial Alpha-Lantern project is in full effect.
Meanwhile, with Sinestro's true machinations for his war revealed to Earth's prime Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan and John Stewart, debate rages across Oa as lines are drawn and crossed, new bonds are formed, and old ones broken.
If Sinestro Corps is over, I may be dropping the main GL title. Undecided at this time, but I've still got a couple of weeks before I need to think about it.
GREEN LANTERN CORPS #19
The pieces of the Sinestro Corps War are still falling as Guy is finally reunited with his lost love, Ice! And as Kyle Rayner tries to start his new life as a Green Lantern, Sinestro rings continue to empower new and deadlier forces in space.
GLC was already a keeper, and adding Kyle to the title can only improve it.
THE SPIRIT #13
Many elements define the Spirit, but one of the more glamorous is definitely his femmes fatales! In this special issue, featuring spectacular stories from some of the industry’s finest creators, discover a bevy of deadly new beauties!
We'll see. I think I may be tiring of this one, honestly. Short attention span and all that. :) But I do enjoy the modern takes on the old Spirit women, so maybe I'll hold off on that decision.
COUNTDOWN TO FINAL CRISIS #21-18
Karate Kid meets an all-new/old OMAC at the Command D bunker! Jimmy Olsen crosses paths with Mister Miracle! Mary Marvel is taken to Paradise Island! One of the Rogues becomes a real drag! Things are changing for the Monitors! And…at long last…Ray Palmer!
I honestly do not know whether I'll be getting this--I like it well enough but is it worth what I'm paying for it? I'm undecided. I like two or three of the storylines so far. And I am kindasorta interested in the Ray Palmer thing--but damn, in addition to the regular Countdown bits, there are a number of "Search for Ray Palmer" titles. Although "Lord Havok and the Extremists" catches my attention because it sounds like an early-eighties band.
